The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1887-06-18

Menominee ranges, he intends to do CON-
siderable exploratory work in this sec
ton. Capt. Tobin stated that there is
more money to be made to-day in Flor
cnce county and in Crystal Falls district
than in either the Gogebic or the VermiI-
ion country, and that a Florence county
or Crystal Falls property can be placed
great deal easier than Gogebic
property Mining News. q
New developments OF astartling nature
have been made at the Culbertson mine.
A vein OF ore has been cut which prom
Uses great things and gives heit to the be-
lief that a large body OF the material il
at hand. A sample OF the ore was
brought TO this office by Mr.. Welch, the
owner OF the property, and il has a splen-
did appearance; IN a soft, brown ore and
very dense. IL appearance is that Of
hard ore but il can be easily cut with "a
knife blade. The new find has created
a considerable stir and will be watched
with great interest by those inter
ested in this district
DIR. n. II. Hulst recently made an exam
4 nation OF the manganese deposit near
the Brule river in Florence county, and
later il is reported that the find has been
sold to Cleveland parties for $50, 900 ON
condition that 1000 tons Of ore can be
shown up, and IL all reports Concerning
the find are true, that viii be the least
part of the work, as it out-crops and has
been traced considerable distance
VIM. A. Curry and Richard Peters, Of
Florence and Jos. Riley, OF TT. Howard,
are the fortunate discoveries OF the mine
A boiler is being placed in position at
the Edna property, section twenty-seven,
1882, when exploratory work will be
carried on more satisfactorily, water
having hindered rapid developing con
siderably heretofore. Notwithstanding
the Inconvenience by reason OF water the
property is very promising indeed and
the more sanguine one assert that il is
nearly II not quite mine at present.
Developing is, it is apparent. only neces-
sary 20 prove that good mine really
exists there.
Some very fine specimens OF ore were
shown the editor one day this week,
which were taken from s. ID. HOLSTERS
work in township iorty-six, range thirty
three. The specimens i'm question, were
taken from the bottom OF n sixty-foot
shaft and are OF a very fine grade OF ore.
/ Work has been carried on here for a long
time and il is hoped that the ore has
been found at last. In fact il has been
found, but in what quantity il yet I'M
known. The ore is brown hematite,
apparently.
The Lockwood, Jr., exploration on the
west half OF section twenty-nine, 1882,
has as yet shown up nothing of import
ance. What was supposed to be the
ledge at a depth OF twenty-five feet,
proved to be harl-pan, which has been
penetrated twenty-five feet, with no signs
OF the ledge. Sinking will be continued
rs those interested have much faith in
the property.
S. d. HOLSTERS explorations ON th,
southeast quarter OF the southwest
quarter and the southwest quarter 81
the southeast quarter Of section twenty
seven, 43-32, are looking all that really
could be expected, but no mine has beer
found there as yet. The work will be
continued there for some time and il il
not impossible for a good property TO b,
developed.
This journal made slight mistake il
referring To ID. c. Lockwood's explora
tions ON section thirty-three. II was
mentioned as the Lockwood, Jr.,
, which is not the case, the section twenty
nine exploration is the Lockwood, Jr.,
and that on thirty-three is simply tn,
. Lockwood"
j. NJ. Thorn writes from metropolitan
! and says that many new options are he
ing worked in that part OF Iron county
and that there is a good prospect that
! Felch will do considerable towards swell

Explorations are soon Co be inaugur
